    Yggdra Union's difficult, strangely addicting, and shows gamers that there's more ways to be successful in the tactical/strategy RPG market than copying the Final Fantasy and Ogre Battle franchises.

    Decent as far as fighting games go, but one of the better Naruto-based titles. Certainly better than the last outing.

    The same game I've played over and over again, just in Shanghai. Technically sound, but too generic to be considered elite among shooters.

    If it weren't for the humor in the game, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Thanks to the clever writing, there are some who will appreciate the game enough to forgive the limited gameplay mechanics.

    A concentrated dose of RE5's action-based gameplay, DE is quite enjoyable for the short time players will spend with it. Puzzle-seekers, walk the other way; new-era RE action gamers, you will not regret giving it a whirl.

    Just Cause was filled with a lot of great ideas. It had the potential to be an awesome game, but what comes across as unsurety on the part of the development team really hampers it.

    Great visuals, unique WWII-era storytelling, and explode-and-run fun made me love the game, but the shooting, driving, climbing, and stealth gameplay made me want to choke myself. The game improves with time and is enjoyable, overall.

    There are some memorable action scenes in Airborne, along with some great visuals and a top-notch presentation. But be careful, because it's over before you know it.

    Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is a great homage to beat-em-ups of old that plays well, but is hurt by a few technical issues and gameplay missteps. No online co-op can also sour the experience.

    Lego Pirates of the Caribbean can be fun, so long as you don't get bored of doing the same things over and over again. The humor of the LEGO series remains, however, so there will be laughs along the way.

    Prism is a refreshing puzzle game on the DS, and a nice break from the various block-based puzzlers we've been playing the last few years. Sadly, there's just something about it that doesn't make most people want to keep going.

    Is ProStreet a change from the NFS formula? Yes. Is it a welcome change? Not really. The removal of the NFS staples and little new additions make this a rather generic racer.

    Very fun game that is marred by technical problems. The lack of replay is what really hurts.

    While the game is pretty entertaining at first, the appeal wears off very quickly and doesn't return. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if you want aerial combat.

    A solid game. Nothing groundbreaking or extremely impressive, but very fun and entertaining.

    If gamers want a new point-and-click adventure to sink their teeth into, Blackwell Deception gives all the features that they are most likely looking for.

    A generally gratifying gameplay experience. Makes good use of the DS hardware and offers players a unique and functional method of controlling the action. It stumbles in the exploration surrounding that, and in its largely derivative storyline.

    A creepy independent title that succeeds in its focus on refining established gameplay elements rather than defining its own.

    NBA Live 08 is in serious contention for Best Basketball Game this year. That just shows you how much improved 08 is after the disaster of 07. Who says EA doesn't listen?

    There's not a whole lot more to tell in this turgid tale of DDR madness. The new modes may draw in a few extra players that previously haven't tried out these titles, but fans of the series know what they'll be getting in the end.

    Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is a good game for a DBZ title, but average if you ignore the property holding it up. For fans of DBZ this is a must-own; for normal gamers, this is likely onyl a rental.

    Endless Frontier works well for the most part. The problem is that despite its attempt to be clever or controversial, it fails to be very engaging.

    Epic Mickey could have become the best game on the Wii, as it certainly has the tools to be so. The camera issues will annoy many of players, diminishing the game as a whole. Don't let it stop you, however, from playing what is still a great game.

    Very entertaining but clearly flawed brawler.

    Glory Days 2 is a fun game, but it’s not great. Like a lot of older arcade titles, this one is fun to play, but you wouldn’t name it a masterpiece, or even a great game. With a few friends to play with it definitely goes up a notch.

    Despite providing the thrilling and series-established RTS gameplay, Soulstorm seems recycled and worn out. Dawn of War fans or RTS players will feel deja vu when playing this game the first time.

    God Hand's high level of difficulty and disappointing lack of technical innovation places it in the love it or hate it category. One thing's for sure though: it definitely should not be overlooked.

    Soul Nomad is a fun game, and one every NIS fan will enjoy. For others trying to find a unique SRPG with an emphasis placed on characters and interaction, look no further.
